Chapter 316: Soul-Forgetting Fairy
Gu Yanze also smiled bitterly and said to the fellow apprentices who were still standing behind him: "Let's all go in, whether it's to untie our knots or to train our Dao hearts, remember, we can lose, but we can't be cowards."
Xuanyuan Hongyuan also said to the remaining two people on his side: "Gu Daoyou is right, let's go in too. Not only are we not cowardly, we will also come out with our own efforts."
So everyone entered the Soul-Forgetting Formation, and some people left the Soul-Forgetting Formation one after another. There were also two people who broke through to a small realm by untying the knot in their hearts that had troubled them for many years and became peaceful in their state of mind.
The people who went in later were indeed difficult to wake up, but in front of Zhong Ling'er, who had seen all kinds of modern psychological problems, it was a piece of cake for them. So finally after three days, everyone walked out of the fog and the entire fog dissipated.
Zhong Linger approached the Soul-Forgetting Tree and touched the trunk, which was actually giving the Bronze-Scaled Snake and the tree demon a chance to communicate.
Not long after, a beautiful figure appeared in Zhong Ling'er's sea of consciousness.
This was a woman so beautiful that she could charm everyone, and Zhong Ling'er couldn't help but think of the legendary nine-tailed fox Daji.
"Are you the tree demon, the Soul-Forgetting Fairy? Why did you lure us all here and trap us in your formation?"
"You are very powerful. I never thought that someone could escape from my formation in such a short time. Moreover, you are very bold. You actually used my formation as a trial ground to let everyone temper their Dao heart. You are not afraid that I will harm them."
"I heard Xiao Tong talk about the Ghost King. I think he is not an evil ghost, so he will not plant a tree that harms people. That's why I dared to take a gamble."
Hearing Zhong Ling'er speak well of the Ghost King, the smile on the face of the Forgetful Soul Fairy became more genuine, but she said, "Don't forget, he has raised a lot of evil ghosts, and these evil ghosts have harmed many nearby villages."
Zhong Ling'er said sincerely: "I just want to ask, who are the five women who lured us here?"
Fairy Wanghun's face flashed with surprise, and then she smiled and said, "You are very perceptive. Yes, they are human beings, rare evil cultivators among the human race, and they are all men. They cultivated the evil ghosts. Due to the need for cultivation, they also harmed several villages, and then hid here to absorb the ghost energy. However, the outside world pushed all the sins onto these evil ghosts."
"They said you were just here to compete in catching ghosts, and there was a time limit, so we cooperated. We just let you go under the tree for a few days, and then we'll let you out when the time is up."
"They don't intend to kill us? Our souls are much more useful to them!"
"The Ghost King made a deal with them. If they don't touch you, the Ghost King won't drive them away, and they can use the ghost energy here as they please."
This time it was Zhong Ling'er who was surprised. She had just said casually that the Ghost King was a good ghost, but she hadn't expected that the Ghost King was actually a pretty good ghost!
"Sister Wanghun, do you like the Ghost King? I think both you and the Ghost King are good. Why don't you follow me from now on? I will never treat you unfairly. Look at what is in my sea of consciousness. You won't lose out if you follow me!"
Lao Ji, Zulong and other spirits appeared one by one, even the unconscious Demon Spirit Pearl showed its face, and finally frightened the Forgotten Soul Fairy.
"No wonder you can drive the copper-scaled snake to run errands for you. You are indeed extraordinary. But I have been born and raised here, and I have no intention of leaving."
"What if the Ghost King follows me?"
"Then I'll go with you too!"
Zhong Ling'er smiled. It seemed that this Soul-Forgetting Tree Demon was definitely a love-brained person!
Moreover, this tree demon looks charming, but is actually quite innocent. He answers whatever you ask, and his thoughts are easy to guess. I wonder what this ghost king looks like, how he could be so obsessed with such a beautiful woman.
"I have to go and pay a visit to the Ghost King. You are in the Dingkun Pearl. This seed has been coveted by someone, so I have to keep it."
"You'd better go two days later. The demonic energy in the Ghost King has been flaring up these days. He has a bad temper and always wants to destroy something. I'm afraid Zhu Ling can't suppress him. Your cultivation is too low. If you go over there, you'll die."
Zhong Linger smiled, "Sister Wanghun, thank you for thinking of me, but don't worry, I am also very powerful. Since it is not suitable for us to meet the Ghost King now, where are the five evil cultivators? I can go meet them first."
"They are near the Ghost King. You will find them soon if you go forward."
Fairy Wanghun approached Zhong Ling'er, touched her head with her hand under her lovely smile, and then left in a charming manner, which made Zhong Ling'er stare in amazement and made her more determined to recruit Wanghun as her subordinate.
The voice of the copper-scaled snake came, "I will take the Ghost King and the Soul-Forgetting Tree back to the underworld. They belong to the underworld!"
Zhong Linger jumped up, "What do you mean they originally belonged to the underworld? They were abandoned by your underworld and thrown into this god-forsaken place. If it weren't for the Dingkun Pearl, could the Ghost King survive and the Soul-Forgetting Tree grow? The Dingkun Pearl not only protects the creatures of this world, but also protects them. Naturally, they want to be with the Dingkun Pearl. The Dingkun Pearl belongs to me, so they should belong to me. The underworld cannot snatch it from me."
The copper-scaled snake didn't say anything else, as if it had given up the idea, or it knew it couldn't communicate with Zhong Ling'er so it simply shut up.
Zhong Linger looked at the people who were also looking at the Forgetful Soul Treeman, and said loudly: "Everyone, I just had a few words with this tree demon, and I learned that you were all trapped by the honey trap and brought here by five beauties."
"These five women are really despicable. They actually deceived so many of you. They are not far ahead. Do you want to go find them and ask for an explanation?"
"Is there any need to ask? We need to make them explain clearly. I have never been deceived so badly in my life!"
"I'd like to state in advance that I didn't fall for any honey trap. I felt that their presence was problematic from the beginning, but I didn't say anything because I didn't find any flaws."
"You're trying to shirk responsibility like this. The key point now is that these people cheated us, and we have to go and settle the score with them."
Most of the people were filled with righteous indignation and vowed to seek an explanation and restore their dignity, so a group of people marched forward in a mighty manner towards where the Ghost King was.
The ghostly aura there was very strong, but Zhong Linger felt a lot of demonic energy in it. However, the demonic energy was controlled within a certain range by something and did not disperse. It seemed to be the work of Zhu Ling.
In this gloomy forest, there are countless mummies hanging upside down. Judging from the clothes they are wearing, they should be villagers from nearby.
"Who are those women? Were these done by evil spirits or by them?"
"Whoever did it, they are so abominable. I counted and there are at least 500 bodies here, and nearly 100 of them are children under the age of ten."
